Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The problem is that the "frames", "parent", "self", and "top" DHTML properties are not properly protected from being modified by another site via JavaScript. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an arbitrary site, which calls a method in one of the modified properties.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.0.4. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.0.5.
